In what way? Wheeljack was always inventing crazy contraptions that he used often and Perceptor's bio makes direct reference to him not using or creating inventions very often but being brilliant and not a semi-crackpot (lol) like Wheeljack

I don't agree WJ seems more like a hands on inventor making crazy gadgets in his lab while Perceptor is more of a lab rat dealing more with theoretical science and math problems much like this bio makes out.

It says he invents stuff, which partly is correct, but he is more of a scientist, like cyberbugs and other things. Like he does the medicine and Ratchet does the 'surgery'. I think they should've left the 'inventor' thing for Wheeljack's bio.

Read it again. It says that "it's rare that he builds or invents anything himself".

PERCEPTOR is one of the most brilliant scientists ever produced by CYBERTRON. Much of the technology the AUTOBOTS take for granted is due to his discoveries. It is rare that he actually builds or invents anything himself, but his insights make is possible for engineers and inventors to continue the pace of technological development.

In other words Wheeljack uses Perceptor's theories to make his fantastical half-baked gizmo's.

It's a nice looking figure, and the chrome is a nice touch (help's that it's use is better than the vast majority of Takara's use of it in recent years), but I'll more than likely pass on it. Still planning on turning the Reflector repaint/retool into Soundwave.

The tech specs are not bad either. They got his intelligence and rank right: his "fireblast" is probably a little low (lower than his endurance? With that whopping cannon?). It's probably just taken from his G1 specs so I shouldn't complain.

He's like the Hank Pym to Wheeljack's Ironman lol. Cant wait to get ahold of this guy-Perceptor is one of the only 4 G1 toys I own, and would love to get the modern update to go with hm.

I thought Jetfire was the Iron Man to Perceptor's Hank Pym and Wheeljack's Mr. fantastic.

Just like Iron Man

"Jetfire's bravado is tempered by one overriding thought: he sincerely believes that victory over the enemy can only come through advancements in Autobot technology. He charges into battle, confident that his highly advanced airframe design will carry the day."
